Description

Brakeman serves as a security assessment tool tailored for Ruby on Rails applications. In contrast to several typical web security scanners, Brakeman analyzes the actual source code of your application rather than requiring a full application stack setup. After scanning the application code, it generates a comprehensive report detailing all identified security vulnerabilities. Installation is straightforward, with Brakeman needing no additional setup or configuration—simply launch it. Since it operates solely on the source code, Brakeman can be executed at any phase of development; for instance, you can create a new application with "rails new" and promptly evaluate it using Brakeman. By not depending on spidering techniques to explore site pages, Brakeman ensures a more thorough assessment of an application, including those pages that may be under development and not yet publicly accessible. This capability allows Brakeman to potentially identify security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. As a tool specifically designed for Ruby on Rails applications, Brakeman adeptly verifies configuration settings against established best practices, thereby enhancing overall application security. Its efficiency and ease of use make it an invaluable resource for developers focusing on secure coding practices.

Description

Curious about the widespread appeal of Ruby? Its advocates describe it as a beautifully crafted, artistic language, while also highlighting its practicality and usefulness. Since being publicly launched in 1995, Ruby has garnered a loyal following of programmers from all corners of the globe. By 2006, Ruby had reached a level of widespread acceptance, with user groups emerging in major cities around the world and Ruby-focused conferences attracting large crowds. The Ruby-Talk mailing list, which serves as the main forum for discussions regarding the language, reached an impressive average of 200 messages daily during that year. However, in more recent times, the volume of messages has decreased as the community has diversified into numerous smaller groups. Ruby consistently ranks among the top 10 in various indices evaluating the growth and popularity of programming languages globally, such as the TIOBE index. A significant factor contributing to this rise is the increasing prominence of software developed in Ruby, most notably the Ruby on Rails web framework, which has played a pivotal role in its adoption by developers. The combination of elegance and functionality continues to attract new users to the Ruby community.
